- 0:00Listening to the prepared patient podcast with Dr.
- 0:04Jennifer GNC, where we discuss what it really takes to heal your body.
- 0:09With the symbol tools we source is a mindset to get you there.
- 0:13I am determined to show you the reality of navigating the medical space as a patient caregiver and loved ones.
- 0:21So you can be empowered and take back the most precious and important asset of your life, which is your health.
- 0:28Let's get ready.
- 0:30Comfortable and get started Hello, healers.
- 0:35Welcome back to the podcast.
- 0:37This one is a quickie.
- 0:38It's going to be very short and brief straight to the point.
- 0:41But I wanted to discuss with you guys how being intentional can literally give you the results that you're looking for minus the wasted of time.
- 0:50The confusion.
- 0:52And also you will find yourself.
- 0:55Being rewarded at the end of it because you take an actions and you literally seen the outcome that you desire.
- 1:02If you guys don't know that I am very an organized person.
- 1:06I am not organized at all.
- 1:08I used to just do things at the spur of the moment.
- 1:11If I.
- 1:12Wanna drive.
- 1:13I just get up and drive.
- 1:14If I.
- 1:16When I do things, I just, again do it at the moment.
- 1:19I like to procrastinate a lot back in school.
- 1:22I usually will leave my projects and studying for my exam instead of last minute.
- 1:26And I'm cramping everything to get it done because I was not intentional.
- 1:31In one thing that I ask my patients to focus on, or one of the skills that we work together on developing is the intentionality.
- 1:39I feel like in life, you have to be intentional.
- 1:43With everything that you do.
- 1:45And it's not just in your health journey, but it's also in your personal life and also your professional life.
- 1:52I use intentionality in everything that I do.
- 1:56Because I will stay more organized.
- 1:59I will get things done.
- 2:01I will literally accomplish all my tasks and my goals.
- 2:04When I am being attentional.
- 2:06I don't want to do things just to do things I want to have a reason to do in it.
- 2:10And I also have a process how to get it done.
- 2:14So being intentional can literally not only save you time and save you money, but also save your energy.
- 2:20I saw a patient not too long ago, who came to me with a whole bunch of supplements.
- 2:25Because many of us think taking supplements is better than taking medications, but what we are, what we don't realize is that taking a lot of supplements can literally damage not only your gut, but also your liver, because the liver has to address all of it.
- 2:40So I asked her a question I'm like, what is the intention here?
- 2:43Why are we taking the supplements?
- 2:46What are we trying to achieve?
- 2:47And unfortunately that patient couldn't tell me.
- 2:50Because she has a half condition.
- 2:52She has tons of gut issues she's trying to tackle and she doesn't want to take medication.
- 2:57So therefore she thought, or somebody told her.
- 3:00Taking supplements will be the way to go.
- 3:03But unfortunately for her, she spent thousands of dollars on subscriptions.
- 3:09And I seen the results.
- 3:11So I asked her to really start from scratch.
- 3:13So that's.
- 3:13From zero.
- 3:14Let's identify what it is that you want.
- 3:16What is the end result first?
- 3:18And then.
- 3:19We're going to reverse engineer.
- 3:21With intention to get to that result.
- 3:24So when I want to have a great week, Right.
- 3:28Like, I'm looking at my week ahead and I am setting an attention and what this week to be, um, productive.
- 3:35I want this week to be successful.
- 3:38I.
- 3:38I want to accomplish many of the things that I have on my list.
- 3:41And I want to really create time and energy and space for self care, like all the things right.
- 3:47So I'm sending that attention on Saturday.
- 3:50For me, that's my process.
- 3:52I will look and Saturday I'm like, okay, so I have to go shopping.
- 3:56I have to do my mail piping mail cooking on Sunday.
- 3:59And then that's going to set me up for success because I don't have to scramble around trying to find food to eat.
- 4:05I'm always going to have things in my fridge already packed and ready to go.
- 4:09And I will look at all the patients that I'm seeing for that week.
- 4:13And I will also look at all the notes the intake forms or follow-up visits that I have with them previously to really see what we're going to be discussing.
- 4:22And I'm going to send an attention.
- 4:23So if it is coaching that I'm providing, because I have a lot of patients in my practice with anxiety, depression.
- 4:30Add ADHD.
- 4:32And they all have got issues.
- 4:34However, I am not only coaching them on gut issues.
- 4:38I'm also coaching them on the mindset and the mental piece and the psychological piece as well, they can continue taking actions so that I don't feel like, they would tell me how.
- 4:50In activity or lack of taking actions or being productive will make them feel like a failure.
- 4:55So I'm sending an attention even on the Saturday to really have a great week.
- 5:01And then I look at my personal life, what it is that I need to do.
- 5:03What do I need to take the children?
- 5:05When do I need to exercise?
- 5:07Is there any event coming up?
- 5:09So everything has to be with attention.
- 5:12And not only my week will go smooth.
- 5:15I am being present a hundred percent of the time for my patients, but I'm also accomplishing a lot.
- 5:24So the day.
- 5:25I'm recording this podcast.
- 5:27It's two o'clock.
- 5:28I already recorded another podcast prior to this.
- 5:31I got up this morning, working on my gut.
- 5:34program.
- 5:35We have, the whole portal I did new things.
- 5:38I already went to the gym.
- 5:40I.
- 5:40Zumba classes today.
- 5:42So I did a lot already.
- 5:44And I have to tell because I had, I set the right attention.
- 5:46That's why I'm able to accomplish a lot.
- 5:48Today by two o'clock.
- 5:50I did.
- 5:51More that I would have done in a whole week when I don't set an attention attention for my health.
- 5:57Like, how do I want to feel?
- 6:00Do I want to feel energized or happy and joyful?
- 6:04Do I want to have more stamina?
- 6:05Vitality?
- 6:07How crazy or busy my week is going to be.
- 6:09So how do I want to feel?
- 6:11But that whole week.
- 6:12Then I will set a condition for my health.
- 6:14And for my personal life.
- 6:16Right.
- 6:16Like, I don't want to be scrimming anybody, not the children.
- 6:19So therefore I want to.
- 6:21Go home happy.
- 6:23Control my emotions, so that I'm not becoming the angry.
- 6:28The angry mom, yelling at my son who doesn't listen all the time.
- 6:32So sending an attention can literally.
- 6:35Make your life so easy.
- 6:37That you are taking actions, but you're taking actions with years minus the discomfort minus the pain.
- 6:44Minus the main set drama.
- 6:47Okay.
- 6:47So for me, when I have an intention, which I try to Willie set one every single week and the days or the week that I don't set one, it's very chaotic.
- 6:58Um, all over the place.
- 7:01And it's hard for me to get things done.
- 7:04And I can see the results at the end of the week is not as.
- 7:08You know, Powerful.
- 7:10I would have liked it to be so therefore sending an attention ahead of time a week before, and literally looking at the action steps that you need to take an implement, get the things done.
- 7:22With the right attention can set you up for success.
- 7:25Can eliminate a lot of busy work.
- 7:28Mine drama.
- 7:30Because I don't know about you, but sometimes I don't want to do things that I need to get done.
- 7:35And sometimes I will make excuses and tell myself stories to make me feel good.
- 7:40When the stories are not serving me.
- 7:42So sending an attention and putting that into motion and take actions.
- 7:46We really give me the results that I look for.
- 7:49So that's the quickie I have for you today.
- 7:51I was thinking about this, driving back from work today.
- 7:55And I said to myself, I have to do.
- 7:58A podcast because many people will see me get things done and they'll see me be available.
- 8:03They don't know what it takes for me to get there.
- 8:05And this is my secret.
- 8:07I sit in attention.
- 8:08I look at my week ahead, I look at the actions that I need to take.
- 8:13With the right attention with the right mindset.
- 8:15And then, then I coach myself on it and then I just go.
- 8:19Without even thinking about it.
- 8:21I just go.
- 8:22Look at my to-do list.
- 8:23Pick my priorities for the week and I just think actions.
- 8:26Okay.
